Soaked in Bleach Page #7

On Cobain's right side.

The exit chamber is clearly

on Cobain's right side

If it was fired upside

down, as it was found,

And as the cadaveric spasm confirms

Seattle P.D. explained

the illogical trajectory

Of the shotgun shell by

concluding that the shotgun

Was fired right side up by Cobain,

The shotgun flipped upside

down, expelling the shell

To his left, to finally

rest in the position

That it was found.

This proposed scenario

is impossible, not only

Because shotguns do not

flip upside down when fired;

It completely ignores

the cadaveric spasm

That locks the grip, dictating

the precise orientation

Of the shotgun when fired.

In order for the scenario the

Seattle police stated occurred

Cobain's wrist would

have to bend at an angle

That is anatomically impossible.

The cadaveric spasm shows

the precise orientation

Of Cobain's hand at the

exact moment of death.

The only way that the shell

could end up in the opposite

Side of the room is if,

when the shell was expelled,

Hit an obstruction

on Cobain's right side

And ricocheted to Cobain's left

side, to land on the jacket.

The crime scene clearly shows

there was no such obstruction,

Which then puts into question

if Cobain truly was alone

In the Greenhouse when

the trigger was pulled.

Kurt was not suicidal.

Have you been watchin' TV?

Readin' the paper?

They're all saying

that he's been suicidal

For a long time, and Courtney

said that this overdose,

The one that was in Rome, she said

That was a suicide attempt.

That's not true.

It was Rosemary Carroll's involvement

That really pushed me

forward, because if somebody

In Rosemary Carroll's

position was telling me

The things she was telling me,

Then I wasn't off base, I wasn't crazy,

I wasn't a lunatic.

She called me a couple of weeks ago,

Said Kurt was leaving her and

asked me to find the meanest,

Most vicious divorce

lawyer I could find.

She even asked me if there was any way

To avoid their prenup.

And she said about that same time,

Kurt had called her also

and asked her if she could

Have Courtney's name

taken outta the will.

Does it seem strange

that Courtney didn't go

Up to Seattle, not even

once, to look for him?

Absolutely.

When I offered to go up,

she said she couldn't go

With me because she had some

business down here in L.A.

She didn't have any business in L.A.

What I don't understand

is how you didn't see him

In the Greenhouse the

first night you were there.

Wait a minute, I didn't

even know the Greenhouse

Existed until the day

I heard it on the radio.

But Courtney told Dylan to check it.

When he called Courtney at

my house Wednesday night,

I heard her tell him

to check the Greenhouse.

A lotta people mock him

for being at the house,

On the case, looking for Kurt.

Kurt was lying dead 20 feet

away and he never found him.

What does that say about

his abilities as a P.I?

I went back on a rainy night.

He claims it was dark and

just didn't know it was there.

Nobody told him, Dylan

certainly didn't tell him.

Dylan must have known that it was there.

Is there anywhere else?

No.

So I went and tested

that, and sure enough,

You really couldn't see

it if you weren't looking

For it specifically.

I asked Courtney to see the

note when I was in Seattle,

And she refused.

Courtney apparently

had let Danny Goldberg,

Her husband, see the

note, but she wouldn't let

Rosemary see it, so

that mystified her too

And made her more suspicious.

And it made me more suspicious, too.

To hear Courtney's own lawyer,

Kurt and Courtney's entertainment

lawyer, Rosemary Carroll,

The godmother of Frances Bean,

Somebody that knew them

better than almost anybody,

Telling Tom that

They were in the middle of a divorce,

That Kurt was drawing up a new will,

And most importantly, I think the tape

That really had me reeling,

Was hearing Rosemary Carroll

looking at the suicide note

And immediately concluding

that it's a forgery.

I believe Courtney never

thought the public was gonna

Ever see that note.

If I hadn't have tricked her

out of a copy of the note,

They wouldn't have seen it.

I heard you read the

note on TV the other day

And I'm just a little

confused about something.

It sounded like the note

said, "I'm lying on the bed. "

If Kurt was lying in the

bed when he wrote the note,

Why was the bed so neat when

I came here the other night?

It looked like nobody

had been on the bed.

I was lying on the bed,

recording the message

For Kurt's fans.

Are you sure that's what you said?

Because I was under the

impression that Kurt was lying

On the bed.

Look, I'll show you, okay?

It's just a copy, but the

cops have the original.

I can't read this without my glasses.

I'm gonna take it down, make

a copy in the fax machine.

I'll read it later.

Yeah, sure.

That I never thought to look at at all,

Quite honestly, until last night.

She left it after she

came over to my house,

The night of the 6th.

Rosemary Carroll was working

with me behind the scenes,

Privately, giving me information.

She did it out of a good conscience.

What do you think that is?

conference on your phone,

And that way you could...

You've promised me things before,

And it didn't come through.

Almost immediately

after Kurt Cobain's death

Was announced in the

media, this phenomenon

Of copycat suicides began.

Kids started killing themselves:

Kurt Cobain fans, Nirvana fans.

This was happening all around the world.

Now I'm a dad myself, and it's just,

Absolutely breaks my heart.

I talk to a lotta the families.

When you read their suicide

notes and read their journals,

It really drove home the importance

Of Kurt on this generation.

The thought of losing a

child is just horrific.

I was relieved that I was

gonna go forward with this,

Because I thought,

"Maybe it'll help stop"

"Some of these copycat suicides. "

That would help too, to be analyzed.

We could determine whether

Kurt wrote that whole thing.

The fact that the handwriting looks,

To my untrained eye,

different at the bottom

Of that note than it

does during the body

It certainly does suggest

that putting that note

In the hands of a questioned

documents examiner,

Somebody who really understands

a lot more than we do

As cops, that would be a good idea.

A forensic document

examiner examines documents

For the purposes of authenticity.

I examined a handwriting

sample that was found

In Courtney Love's backpack,

and it was a practice sheet

Of different letters, the alphabet.

I examined that in comparison

to the suicide note.

What I did find interesting

about the practice sheet is

That it did have letter

combinations and specific letters

That are found in the bottom

portion of the suicide note.

It is possible that

somebody else with some skill

Could indeed imitate his writing,

Especially those last few lines.

One of the, perhaps

surprising, characteristics
